The most disastrous ralrsad accident ever
known IN this country occurred near Chats
worth, Illinois on Wednesday, August 10, 1887.
passengers left Peoria Illinois tor Niagara Falls.
The party was a happy one on pleasure trip
and the heavily laden train drawn by two en-
gnes hurried on its way al fearful rate of speed
attempting TO make up fer lost time occasioned
by the inevitable circumstances that attend all
excursions, when suddenly III a point about
three miles east of Chatsworth, Illinois, as the
train approached a bridge over 3 dry slough, it
was discovered by the engineer of the front en-
CINE that the bridge was on fire, but he was too
near and the rate of speed too great to stop the
heavy train before it dashed into the flames
The front engine passed over in safety but the
next engine, together with several cars filled
with persons, plunged into the depression below,
causing instant death to more than q hundred
persons and seriously wounding several hundred
others. Il was in the middle of the night, and
Is the country around is sparsely settled the
unfortunate victims suffered all the horrors
imaginable in q crushed mass of tale-
scoped and shattered cars flied with
mangied dead and dying men, women and
children. When help was at last procured
ii required several hours Of superhuman efforts
70 subdue the flames and extricaie the injured
and dying from their perilous condition and re-
lieye them far - possible of their intsnse suf
fsEing The citizens Of neighboring towns vol
unteered in force TO rescue and relisve, while
the ofFicen of the railroad company did all IN
their power to alleviate the psnss Of the tortured
victims. 1t required several days to identify tine
